At
Deer Point Elementary in Panama City, Florida, teacher William
Weatherly has had great success using Apple® iPads in his autism
classroom, but he quickly realized he needed top-notch cases to protect
the devices from drops and spills. That’s why the school is using Trident
Kraken A.M.S. iPad cases to protect their investment and ensure each
student continues to have the best possible learning experience.

Weatherly’s
class uses nine iPads – one for each student – for various lessons in
both reading and mathematics. The tablet’s software also assists in
developing communication skills in autistic students with speaking
disabilities.

To
ensure that the iPads survive, Weatherly required the most durable
cases possible. “Our class relies heavily on iPads for daily
instruction, because that’s the way the students learn best,” he said
today. “Trident cases have been on the devices for a year, and have
completely held up against drops, spills and temper tantrums.”

As
teachers rely more and more on technology to conduct lessons, Trident
Case is committed to providing the highest level of protection for
tablets that will preserve tablets through plenty of wear-and-tear
scenarios in all school environments, including K-12 and higher
education.

“Trident
cases really perform the way they say they do,” Weatherly said. “I have
been recommending these cases to the administration because students
can benefit from protected smart devices in schools. As far as
technology goes these days, there are many apps that cater to schools.
Books can already be pre-logged. There’s no more excuse of ‘I left it at
home’.”

According
to Weatherly, the curriculum utilizes software called Nearpod that
enables teachers to control each individual device. This way, teachers
can administer quizzes, questions and lessons simultaneously to students
who each have their own tablet in the classroom.

When
Weatherly’s students attend other classes within the school they take
the iPads with them, which means that they physically leave the
classroom. This requires even more protection from the cases.

“We
are thrilled to see our Kraken A.M.S. cases being put to such good use
in a challenging K12 classroom environment, but we are not surprised,”
said Erin Luzzi, Vice President of Marketing at Trident Case. “The
Kraken A.M.S. Series for smartphones and tablets is designed to stand up
and perform optimally in the most punishing usage environments. More
and more schools are adopting the Kraken A.M.S. Series as a sensible
purchase that protects their investment in tablet technology.”

In
a YouTube video created by Weatherly, students of the autism program
demonstrate the type of damage a tablet may experience in a learning
environment. “I would rate it a ten out of ten,” Zachary, a student,
said in the video after dropping his iPad on the ground.

The
Kraken A.M.S. Series cases are the strongest, most durable cases made
by Trident. The case consists of a shock-absorbing silicone inner layer
covered by a hardened polycarbonate outer-casing, with a built-in screen
protector to provide maximum protection. The attachment port at the
back of the case also features a mounting accessory that supports
accessories such as media stands or clips. Kraken cases also meet U.S.
military standards to protect mobile devices against rain, dust, drops
and vibration.

Trident
Case® offers six series of protective carrying solutions providing one,
two, or three layers of protection: Kraken A.M.S. Series, Aegis Series,
Cyclops Series, Perseus A.M.S. Series, Electra Series, and Apollo
Series. All Trident cases use bio-enhanced, plastic based products that
are recyclable, compostable, and degradable. Trident cases are
manufactured in the USA.
